School Reviews

Lewiston High School has a ton of issues between staff and parents. The principal does NOT support parents & families, and there is a big problem with communication overall. This school does not provide a safe learning environment, as bullying is ignored and overlooked. The students often complain about the ease of coursework, and the reputation of the school has suffered. Beware of this school, you will not find support for your family here!
